Hello again.. I am updating the blog after a long break but, it is good to be back.

I have been trying my hand at making jewellery out of various mediums like wire and beads, wood, canvas, M-Seal etc, and wanted to share my discovery of a relatively new medium to make Jewellery with - Fired Terracotta Clay. When I say relatively new, I mean that the medium is new to me, even though it has been around since our primitive ancestors had the urge to adorn themselves.  

This versatile medium is easy to work with and produces earthy, beautiful and surprisingly durable ornaments and jewellery.

 So I have decided to give it a try.  Here are a few of my first trials.

After firing and painting the pieces, this is how they look..


Hope you like them.
